New Occurrence of Fire Opal from Bemia, Madagascar
Gems & Gemology, 2010 Twenty-two gem opals from a new volcanic deposit located near Bemia, in southeastern Madagascar, were investigated by classical gemological methods, SEM-EDS, powder X-ray diffraction analysis, LA-ICP-MS, and Raman and IR spectroscopy. Although none of the opals show play-of-color, they exhibit a wide variety of hues-- including those typical of fire ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Primary cultures of neuroblasts isolated from the nucleus basalis of Meynert of 12‐weeks‐old human foetuses were prepared. Whole‐cell patch‐clamp recordings were performed by injecting a depolarizing stimulus current (+500 pA; 500 ms), and the membrane voltage recorded; this stimulus current evoked periodic‐like oscillations in membrane voltage ...

Revisiting methods of vegetation fuel mapping
Emergency Management Science and TechnologyThis paper presents methods of multi-scale mapping of vegetation fuels (VFs). It has been developed based on long-term fundamental pyrological (fire/fuel-related) studies in different regions of Russia, which have helped create a detailed VF ...

An Innervated Human Skin Equivalent that Electrically Encodes Mechanical and Thermal Stimuli
Advanced Science, EarlyView.An innervated human skin equivalent is integrated with high‐density microelectrode arrays to reveal how engineered free nerve ending–like structures translate touch and temperature into electrical codes. Mechanical indentation and thermal stimulation engage the engineered somatosensory circuitry and evoke distinct firing and waveform signatures ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.The phosphite group endows intrinsic flame retardancy, while the P = O bond enhances intermolecular interactions to realize solid‐solid phase transition. Battery thermal management tests show the materials extend the safe working time of lithium‐ion batteries by 200%. Cone calorimeter tests indicate a 14s delay in ignition time, and reductions of 37.6%,

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A damage‐free iCVD fluoropolymer passivation strategy is introduced for ambipolar vertical OECTs. Vapor‐phase infiltration and thermal annealing induce nanoscale phase separation in the OMIEC channel, enhancing overall device performance. A single‐channel bipolar event‐driven spiking encoder is also demonstrated for electrocardiogram signal encoding ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.In this study, we identify a novel functional role of ZBTB18 in regulating trigeminal‐mediated neuropathic pain. Nerve injury reduces ZBTB18 in trigeminal ganglion neurons, impairing CHD4/NuRD recruitment and de‐repressing Clic1. Elevated CLIC1 enhances chloride channel activity and neuronal hyperexcitability, thereby driving pain.

A Reconfigurable Memristive Spiking Neuron Enabling Advanced Neuromorphic Computing
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Pek Jun Tiw and co‐workers develop a reconfigurable memristive neuron that can exhibit four spiking behaviors with freely tunable spike train parameters. The neuron supports multiplexed spike encoding of multiple pieces of information. It also supports advanced neural network strategies, such as neural heterogeneity and dynamic mode switching ...
